An officer for Lisburn and Castlereagh said: "Police officers from Lisburn and Castlereagh City District Command Unit have again gone the extra mile to keep people safe.

"Yesterday morning, two constables responded to a call for help regarding a vulnerable teenager. When officers arrived at the scene, a fire had broken out. One officer used a fire extinguisher to tackle the fire until fire service arrived, while the other removed the teenager to safety.

"Both officers were taken to hospital to be checked over afterwards and thankfully no one was hurt."
